1 Township of Mahwah Combined Work Session and Public Meeting Minutes of April 26, 2012

ENGINEERING (Boswell-McClave) 1a. Proposal; Drainage Improvements on West Airmount Road The Township Engineer explained the work is being done as a result of a video being taken by the Northwest Bergen Utilities Authority. Recommendation is being made that the pipe be repaired in some areas and replaced in others.

Roth expressed concern that the area is heavily traveled in the work area. The Township Engineer said they will look to stage the work when school is out.

Spiech questioned the bridge. The Township Engineer said the bridge will be shut down from 10AM to 4PM each day with the restriction that the bridge be minimally open. He will check into this further with his Associate.

Spiech added that the bridge is the only access to Fire Company #2 ladder to get across town. The Township Engineer said he shall coordinate this and get back to him.

Larson asked the expected life span of the two pipes. The Township Engineer answered for concrete – 60 years and for plastic – he shall check. He did point out that the life span of the plastic pipe is much less than the concrete.

Williams asked what Administration is recommending. The Business Administrator said concrete as they are looking to install whatever will last the longest.

Williams asked if money has been allocated. The Business Administrator answered yes.

Resolution shall be voted on in the Public Meeting.

1b. Proposal; 2012 Road, Curb and Sidewalk Improvement Program The Township Engineer said they are looking for the project to be done and completed before the start of school.

Williams questioned the paving of Mahwah Road from Oweno Road to Malcolm Road. The Business Administrator explained that this was bid as an Alternate and shall depend upon what the bids come in at. Williams said he is concerned that the road is heavily traveled. He added he is concerned about leaving the road in its current condition as it is right next to the school. The Township Engineer said it is anticipated that money will be available to pave the area. However, it does depend on how the prices come in.

Resolution shall be voted on in the Public Meeting.

1c. Verbal Status Report Winter’s Pond Dredging – The diversion pipe has been removed. All the disturbed areas have been topsoiled and seeded. The valves in the dam have been closed. The pond is beginning to fill up. A local contractor will be removing the dredged material at not cost to the Township.

Valentine Brook: The County has finished the work. The road is open to traffic.

Masonicus Brook: The work is done from the Mosquito Commission. The DPW is working on the restoration of the area.

TOWNSHIP UTILITY ENGINEER (Malcolm Pirnie) 2a. Report; Ford Well Field The Township Utility Engineer reported that the Ford Well Tank is gone. At this point, they are dealing with the Punch List items. The final credits and deducts are being negotiated. It is expected that in 3 to 4 weeks the project will be closed out.

The Township Utility Engineer said a report was prepared for Council as a brief. He said there are two technical issues – the diminished available capacity of Well 2 and the reduced system pressures related to the system’s hydraulic gradient line. He said after testing it was determined that Well #2 was producing 435 gallons per minute instead of the 690 gallons per minute which is the capacity.

Redevelopment options were explored and discussed with Administration and the Water Department. A recommendation will be made on the redevelopment in the near future.

The Township Utility Engineer said shortly they will be going to the State on the Water Allocation Permit which incorporates all the wells modified so that the Stag Hill Tank will be taken out and replaced with Well #18A.

The Township Utility Engineer said the Township will not be looking to get a larger allocation from the State as the Ramapo aquafir is completely spoken for. He explained that the well capacities can be mixed and matched.

The Township Utility Engineer said back in 2006/07 the Ford Well #3 was redeveloped and came back well.

The Township Utility Engineer said the second issue is the system pressure. He said it was noticed that Well #2 had a diminished capacity. Together with Administration it was determined that Well #2 would be looked at when performance testing was done on the other wells. It was uncertain if the issue with the well was a system issue or a localized issue. Often wells come back with a need for throttling.

The Township Utility Engineer said the next step is for them to take the results to Administration and the DPW for discussion.

Williams referred to Page 2 of the report provided to Council. He said the design intent was to provide well pumps capable of pumping the permitted flow and not to assure that each well was capable of yielding its permitted flow. As he understands, we designed and built something capable of producing 690 gallons per minute and now it is pumping 435. The Township Utility Engineer’s Associate explained the pump is designed to

extract the higher number of water out of the ground and the lower number is the ability of the ground aquafir to convey the ground water to the well.

Williams said he is confused with whether the 435 can come out of the well and we designed for 690 but cannot pump 690. The Township Utility Engineer’s Associate explained at one time it could pump 690. Williams feels that we designed a well we will never be able to use. The Township Utility Engineer’s Associate said the diminished capacity wells are not uncommon. He added the common solution is to go back and recharge the well so it gets back to where it was.

Williams said the recommendation is for about $45,000. He asked if that includes their fee. The Township Utility Engineer’s Associate said it is $45,000. plus their fee.

Williams said he reads in the report that the well coming back to full capacity is not guaranteed. The Township Utility Engineer said in most cases the well does come back but there is no guarantee.

Alderisio questioned when the well drops is that a result of the low water table. The Township Utility Engineer said it could be where the screen in located. The Township Utility Engineer’s Associate interjected and provided an example of a sink that after years of use over a period of time gets clogged. The water no longer goes down the drain as quickly it did when the sink was new. This is similar to what is occurring with the pump.

Roth said there are some discrepancies in the data. Roth said on Well 2 the historical facts are that prior to starting there was a capacity of 690 but historically it has been pumping a production rate of 400. The Township Utility Engineer said they did not think the well had diminished as much as it had due to the design taking a number of years.

Roth said the memo that Justin McMahon wrote stated the actual production rate for Well #2 was 400, the Township Utility Engineer’s chart said 460 and the Water Department said 400 to 420. Roth said these figures say to him that there is something wrong with the Well. The Township Engineer’s Associate said the numbers are in the recent years and not in the beginning when the Well was designed. Roth said this was a candidate for rehabilitation and he does not know why something was not done in the beginning.

Roth mentioned in reading the memo from the Township Utility Engineer there was a significant change in February in the hydraulic gradient line. Roth said no one knows the reasons for this but in the Engineer’s letter he said they want to make recommendations to fix things but then went to state that they want to continue to investigate.

The Township Utility Engineer’s Associate said they did measure out in the system last year and were getting readings of 630 at that time. There have been some changes in the system, he stated, and the amount of water the pump puts out is based on the resistance of

the systems pushing back against the pumps. The Township Utility Engineer’s Associate said they cannot find the one thing that causes the problem. He questioned that whatever was causing the 635 readings a year ago, could it manifest again.

Roth commented that he is looking for Expert Consultant information and he is not receiving this answer. Roth said if they go through the recommendations, every single pump installed, except for 3, requires a removal of a stage. Roth said every pump is over achieving and feels they will be damaged in the short term. The Township Utility Engineer’s Associate said they are over achieving because they are being pushed back to the system. The Township Utility Engineer said they had made an intense effort to find why the pressure in the system is being elevated and do not understand it. The Township Utility Engineer said he feels they are trying to solve all of the problems. He stated that the hydraulic gradient line is a dynamic and the capacity number depends on what the Water Department and the users are doing within a narrow range. Roth asked why money should be spent if the problem is not being corrected.

Spiech said we should be able to monitor the pumps and know what the pressure is. He said he has concerns about spending all the money, working on all the wells and still have not knowing what causes the high pressure that we are trying to fix.

Spiech said there are two distinct problems. One would be having a solid way of fixing the problem but the other one which will cost us to work on all the pumps.

Roth said valves are throttled and wondered what the timeline is. The other thing is that we are going to do any work on these the pumps cannot be taken offline in peak season.

Larson asked what Administration’s opinion is. The Business Administrator said they did speak with the Superintendent of the Water/Sewer Department in reviewing the Engineer’s report and he concurs with the comments in the report. He said they are having a Technical Meeting with Arcadis/Malcolm Pirnie next week to see how they can implement everything. He said they want to close out with the Contractor within the next week and then have a Contractor come in to redevelop Well #2.

Roth suggested that the issue be in a phasing project.

Larson said he recollected that the Township Utility Engineer said there were other alternatives and asked if they were more costly. The Township Utility Engineer explained he was referring to the fact that they can look at introducing resisting systems some place else.

The Township Utility Engineer said whatever they do they want to hear from the Water Department about what would make sense operationally for their benefit and also to see if they have information that can be considered or if anything has changed.

2b. Verbal Progress Report Consumer Confidence Report: They are compiling the data. 5 Township of Mahwah Combined Work Session and Public Meeting Minutes of April 26, 2012

Corrosion Control: In process.

LEGAL 3a. Tax Court Decision; Ramapough Mountain Indians For information only.

3b. Memo from Police Chief; Ramsey Auto Body The Township Attorney stated that this is a complaint against one of the official towers. He said there is a procedure in our Ordinance for the justification of these complaints which he pointed out in his letter of April 19, before he had seen an April 17th response letter from Banks & Zisgen Attorneys at Law, representing the tower.

The Township Attorney said he recommends the procedure be that the Township Administrator send the complaint to the tower for further explanation. Any action to be taken on this has to be done in an open session at a regular Council Meeting.

The Township Attorney stated that these towers receive approvals from the Council and have a right to operate under this approval.

Spiech said after all procedures and due process are followed the Council will then be able to discuss this is it is put on the agenda.

ADMINISTRATION 4a. Chapter 159; NJDOT Grant Resolution shall be voted on in the Public Meeting.

4b. Interlocal Agreement with Library – QPA Resolution shall be voted on in the Public Meeting.

4c. 2012 Salary Ordinance The Business Administrator said there are no significant changes from the 2011 to 2012 as the White Collar, Blue Collar and PBA units are following the Collective Bargaining Agreements.

The Business Administrator said in the Fire Division, the Training/Records Secretary - Fire Department was increased by $400. to $2,000.

Ordinance shall be introduced at the Public Meeting.

4d. Authorization to Award Bid #MTB-12-12: Corrosion Inhibitor Chemical Resolution shall be voted on in the Public Meeting.

4e. Proposed Administrative Ordinance; Department of Emergency Services Deputy Director The Business Administrator stated this is a recommendation from Administration and Mr. Roe, Director of Department of Emergency Services. Mr. Roe serves as both Director of 6 Township of Mahwah Combined Work Session and Public Meeting Minutes of April 26, 2012

the Department of Emergency Services and as O.E.M. Coordinator. The Department Director coordinates the activities of the Fire Division, Office of Emergency Management and Ambulance Services. Administration is recommending that Mr. Roe remain as the Director of Emergency Services and as the Coordinator of OEM. And a position of Deputy be created to help Mr. Roe do the significant amount of paperwork for the Fire Division, OEM and Ambulance Services. The position will be without compensation.

Roth said this is a confusing situation and does not make sense. There is one person doing two types of jobs. Roth suggested fixing the overlapping responsibilities in both offices.

Spiech said there is a need to have a line of command because the work chart and the Ordinance is inconsistent and that is why they are adding an unpaid Deputy.

Larson asked if the Administrator work will be split between OEM and Emergency Services because there is one body serving two jobs. The Business Administrator answered no.

Larson suggested the word “may” instead of “shall” be changed in the Ordinance.

Spiech said the Ordinance shall be introduced in the Public Meeting.

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE LAND DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE OF THE TOWNSHIP OF MAHWAH TO UPDATE SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS FOR APPLICATIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT

On a motion by Roth, seconded by Williams, the meeting was opened to the public. All in favor. Motion carried.

Mr. Robert Zisgen, Esq., was present on behalf of his client, Mr. James Venusti. He said Mr. Venusti lives in the Highlands Preservation Area and has been subjected to an Easement of Virtue of Necessity imposed upon his property in favor of a land locked parcel. This matter has been before the Zoning Board of Adjustment. He said in reading the proposed Ordinance he noticed the language on Page 5, Section 22-5.4 – Highlands Consistency Determination. He said there are several segments of this Ordinance where the same language is used. He suggested in the last sentence on Page 5 to remove “considered for review” and replace it with the word “reviewed”. He also referred to the same suggested changes on Pages 6, 8 and 9 of the proposed Ordinance. He also said on the top of Page 4 there is a typographical error in the definition of Application for Development. He said there should be a space between the words “means” and “the”.

The Township Attorney interjected and pointed out that in the same paragraph there is a “t” that should be removed at the end of the sentence on the last line.

Mr. Zisgen said the more fundamental question being raised which would be is this amendment to the Land Use Ordinance have an effect on the Ordinance that is on file. He referred to a new statute, the Time of Application. He questioned the Ordinance being adopted tonight would it be effective respectively as the application is filed before its adopted. He also pointed out that under the statute that the application has been started and therefore the Ordinance would have no effect on it.

The Township Attorney gave his opinion that the wording is acceptable as presented. He also gave the opinion that the Ordinance would not effect any pending Applications in view of the statute.

Larson said if the Application is under review it has been deemed complete. The Township Attorney said the statute does not require that the application be deemed complete.

Roth questioned whether the new Application has been filed. Mr. Zisgen said a new Application has not been filed.

OLD BUSINESS Roth asked what happened on the Home Depot Application. The Municipal Clerk said this matter is being handled by the Administrative Officer.

Spiech said July 1st is coming and asked if Administration is doing anything to secure our money. The Business Administrator said they are having discussions with a couple of entities for private partnership.

Spiech questioned if Norfolk Village has been sold. The Business Administrator answered yes.

NEW BUSINESS Williams pointed out that many residents do not recycle. He questioned Administration as to whether there is any campaign that can be instituted to encourage recycling. The Business Administrator said the Recycling Booklet is sent to each residence each year outlining the Township’s Recycling Program. Williams suggested the benefits of recycling be put on the Cable Channel. Mayor Laforet suggested something through the schools would be the best avenue. Suggestion was made for the Mayor to prepare a Proclamation on Recycling.

Spiech mentioned the memo from Captain Sinnaeve regarding the parking on Rock Ridge Road and Trellis Court. Spiech asked Council if they want to pursue the no parking Monday through Friday, between 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. or do they recommend moving the bus stop. 12 Township of Mahwah Combined Work Session and Public Meeting Minutes of April 26, 2012

Spiech said this would apply to the residents also. The Business Administrator said they do not have to totally prohibit parking just put a restriction on the hours of parking. In this way, he said, the people who live there can park and it would eliminate commuters from parking there all day.

Spiech said they will ask Captain Sinnaeve for some proposals for the next Council Meeting.
